Abstract
An assembly for both distributing electricity and limiting the flow of current has a housing, input conductors, first output conductors, second output conductors, an insulating spacer block, and limiters. Portions of the input conductors and first output conductors overlay each other with the insulating spacer block therebetween. The limiters electrically connect the input conductors to the output conductors with pairs of limiters connected between a single input conductor and separate output conductors.
Claims20
A power distribution and limiter assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- input conductors connected to the housing, each input conductor having a terminal at each of its opposite ends;
- first output conductors connected to the housing, at least some of the first output conductors overlaying at least some of the input conductors;
- second output conductors connected to the housing, the input conductors, first output conductors, and second output conductors all being spaced from each other;
- an insulating spacer block located between portions of the input conductors and portions of the first output conductors to electrically insulate the portions from each other;
- and
- limiters electrically connecting the input conductors to the output conductors, the limiters comprising pairs of limiters with first ends of both limiters of a pair connected to a single input conductor and second ends of each limiter of each pair connected to a separate output conductor.
A power distribution and limiter assembly comprising:
- three sets of conductive bus bars, each set having at least three bus bars, each bus bar having a first terminal at a first end and a second terminal at a second end, two of the sets of bus bars at least partially overlapping each other with a space therebetween;
- a spacer block located between portions of the overlapping sets of bus bars;
- a housing having the bus bars connected thereto with the terminals extending through holes in the housing;
- and
- three pairs of limiters electrically connecting a first set of the bus bars to a second set and a third set of the bus bars, each limiter having a first end connected to a second end terminal of the first set of bus bars and a second end connected to a first end terminal of either one of the second and third sets of bus bars.
A power distribution and limiter assembly comprising:
- a base;
- a housing connected to the base;
- a cover connected to the housing;
- three sets of bus bars sandwiched between the base and the housing and having input and output terminals extending through the housing to a space between the housing and cover, a first set of input terminals being located at a first side of the housing and two sets of output terminals being located at an adjacent second side of the housing generally perpendicular to the first side;
- a spacer block located between overlapping portions of first and second sets of the bus bars;
- and
- limiters connecting the first set of bus bars with the second set of bus bars and a third set of the bus bars.
